Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330-301, -321, -322, -341, and -342 airplanes. This action requires modifying the rear fuselage to reinforce a certain frame segment. This action is necessary to prevent fatigue cracking of the rear fuselage, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
